I updated jEdit from 4.4.2 to 4.5.1 on Win 7 32-bit PC, and now my environment is toast.
Upon opening, gave me an I/O error related to "Sidekick". I uninstalled 4.5, and installed 4.4.2 back.
No luck.
I can open a file with code and move the cursor around, but as soon as I update anything (i.e. add or delete a single character), jEdit hangs.
I have to kill the process from Task Manager.
Tried uninstalling either of the two version and now both installations behave exactly same...hung after first interaction.
After uninstalling a version, I reboot to install another, and the install wizard tells me it needs to close an existing version of jEdit that's running...how can this be, after I've uninstalled and rebooted?
I suspect there's a component or accessory to jEdit that both corrupted and persists even after uninstall.
any clue how I can fix my environment to successfully reinstall and start from scratch?

Sorry, this feels like a stupid question, but can't find an obvious answer anywhere.

I've recently moved from Windows to Mac and brought jEdit with me, and been confused about why the 'go to recent buffer' key wasn't working (command-`). Eventually discovered it was because OS X already uses that binding for 'show-next-application-window'.

Is there any standard set of OS X keybindings for jEdit that avoid these kinds of conflicts, or do I need to roll my own? Seems like something lots of OS X users would run into?

Is there a way to disable the FTP/SFTP welcome message dialog that pops out when connecting to a VFS using the FTP plugin? The problem is that every time a remote buffer is saved (Ctrl+S), the same nagging welcome message from the server appears.

I love jEdit and use it all the time on my standard Linux desktop however I've recently purchased a PowerMac G4 and have managed to compile OpenJDK7 against the platform. Great... now I can upgrade to the latest version of jEdit!! I downloaded the source and compiled against my platform but due to complications I have to explicitly set Djava.awt.false=false as an option when running jEdit.

Everything loads correctly and I can browse through the menu items, install plugins etc however the one thing which doesn't work is keyboard input into buffers. When I try to type into a buffer no text appears and instead the output is directed to the console.

Could somebody please help me understand what is happening and perhaps suggest any way of avoiding this issue? I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty in the code if it comes to that but I'd appreciate a starting point!

I try to use jedit to make recursive text search in all files in a directory.

When I perform a search, jedit complains about cp1252 encoding not applicable on pdf files. Yes, I'm on windows xp...

The file could not be loaded correctly (some data might be lost) with
the encoding "Cp1252".
(java.nio.charset.UnmappableCharacterException: Input length = 1)
Try selecting a different encoding.
It can be selected with the menu File->Reload with Encoding.
If you want it to be done automatically, add the candidates into
"List of fallback encodings" in Encodings pane of Global Options.

I don't understand why jedit tries to search in pdf files as pdf files are binary files. Does it try to extract text from pdf files and then apply an encoding to find text?

It seems that jedit can skip binary files, it seems to be an interesting feature, but I don't know how jedit considers files as binary. If I uncheck "skip binary files", the same exception pops out but for bin files, obj files, etc. I've been looking at the documentation, but cannot find anything about binary files association. I think this behavior is expected, but not very user friendly.

Is it possible to use jedit to search in all binary files as well?

Does it just try to decode the file using its default encoding (cp1252, I'm on windows xp) and considers the file as binary if it fails? (I guess it's not that simple)

Java 1.7 has been officially released by Oracle for OS X 64-Bit:
http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u4-b21/jdk-7u4-macosx-x64.dmg

I have been attempting to get jEdit (4.5.1) running with this JVM without any success. When I modify JVMVersion from 1.6+ to 1.7+ in /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/Info.plist, I get an error "No compatible version of Java 1.7+ is available.". I have also tried setting this to the exact version number.

When large input data are entered in a new file, the heap gets out space and displays an beanshellerror message which is not user friendly message. Also in the the beanshellerror message the text is typable.

Expected Results:
Appropriate user friendly error message should be appeared and in the error message text should not be typable.

Hi,
I used to have and use quite and old release of JEdit (4.2.0)
I am trying now latest 4.5.3.
I am not satisfied with the font size of tags plugin dialog - it is to much large
in my feeling. In the previous JEdit I used (4.2) It was ok.
Is there a way to make this font smaller ?
rgs,
Kevin

Using jEdit causes my GPU to leave its idle state. This eventually causes it to heat up, which causes the fan to increase in speed. Really not something that's necessary when doing editing. I saw a way to disable 2d acceleration, which in the past has cured this. However, I notice this version of jEdit no longer launches from the .bat file, but has a "jEdit.exe." How do I pass -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true when jEdit starts?

Not sure how this happened or how to reproduce it, however, in Jedit and only in Jedit, when I push shift-C It doesn't type a 'C' (which I just typed here on the same machine, a macbook pro OS 10.6). The strange thing is if I type shit-C in succession or if I type shift-C and then another key, I get a system beep.

Hi there,
I'm doing my research on concept location area and I want to chose Jedit as
my case study. I need the complete data of the source code repository with
the log commit messages, bug and features.
The problems are:
1. The source code repository is in three different type of source control
repository(CVS, SVN, Git)
2. I want to find/recommend the accurate location for the features and bugs
in the source code and regarding to the conversation in
"http://jedit.9.n6.nabble.com/jEdit-users-jedit-source-code-repository-td4501575.html",
I don't know what should I do with this code distribution problem.
3. There isn't any link in the bugs and features web page to download them.
4. I need the whole list of the Jedit developers. After a long search, I
found a list of developer in
"http://sourceforge.net/project/memberlist.php?group_id=588" but I don't
know is this correct and also there isn't any link to download the list.
